The latest in public space designs from around the globe by some of
the most experimental international designers and architects
working today. "The topic of this book, un-volumetic architecture
is the search for creative alternatives to the overly volumetric
shape making obsessions of international architecture today and a
promising goal for the 21st Century." - James Wines This book
examines an important selection of the most important and
experimental contemporary designs for public spaces throughout the
world and offers a critical reflection of the theme of
"unvolumetric architecture" proposed by the designers and
theoreticians featured in the book. The series of the selected
projects moves from earthworks and environmental interventions to
surface design, land marks, events, barriers, canopies and
shelters, technical equipment, micro-architecture and the most
traditional urban design and involves some of the most prominent
international designers including Acconci studio, Shigeru Ban,
Eduard Bru, Manuel de Sola Morales, Odille Decq, Diler and
Scofidio, Nougichi Isamo, Toyo Ito, Wes Jones, Kengo Kuma,
Torres& La Pena, Mary Miss, N!Studio, NL architects, Oma, Site,
Italo Rota, Sauerbruch & Hutton, Venturi Scott Brown. The book
includes an introductory essay by Denise Scott Brown as well as
essays by Wes Jones, Pippo Ciorra, Kengo Kuma, Arie Graafland,
Enrico Morteo, James Wines, Bernardo Secchi and Ilhyun Kim.
